THE SCAVVERS
************
We broached the bulkhead to the legendary Q-Decks with mineral acid. We
breathed the stale air deeply -- no Scavver had roamed these halls,
littered with fallen fluor-tubes and other treasures, since the times
before The Great Dark.
We found an intact Spiderbot above the ceiling. It had been programmed
to kill, of course, and two worthies cursed the sorcerous Botmasters
with their dying breaths before we brought the demon down.
But any doubts about our mission vanished when we popped the J-box and
watched the Holy Ohmmeter's dial dance in the presence of God.
There's juice in them thar walls.
